Tracing Managed File Transfer for z/OS commands

The trace facility in Managed File Transfer for z/OS is provided to help IBM Support diagnose your problems and issues. We can use this facility to trace commands.

Attention: Tracing a command only collects information about the processing done by the command. It does not trace any activity that an agent might perform while processing that command.

The way to collect the trace depends on whether the command is being run using either Unix System Services (USS) or JCL.

If we are unsure which option to use, contact the IBM Support representative and they will advise you on the best way to collect trace for the issue that we are seeing.
